Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful ocean view from our balcony. Clean and quiet. No air conditioning so we slept with the sliding door open. We walked to the beach each day. Dinner across the street at Vesuvio’s; we liked it so much we had dinner their two days in a row. Just a couple a blocks away from all of the shops.

What a great little inn. Nothing fancy but a quiet place close to all Carmel by the sea had to offer without a high sticker price. Walking distance to shops and food and the beach!! If your not going to make your hotel your hang out spot this is the perfect home base

Great Night in Carmel

My room was easy to find and cozy. There was some noise from doors closing in other rooms, but nothing loud enough to keep me up. The shower was a nice with the three dispensers and the expected soap bars. The only real problem was parking l, which was a little awkward with how hilly Carmel is. The Inn is located right next to the major attractions and restaurants, a perfect location.
